A student made collage. The outside edges are red, black and orange. The middle, like its erupting from the page, are blues and purples, with the French figure Liberte in the center

In large font at the top - “WAR” Next line says “Thomas Hobbes” “The life of man is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” THE GOVERNMENT WIL PREVENT THIS and IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY There are black and white images of people in gas masks and airplanes.

Brown and green collage background. A brain in the center. Old school political cartoon figures on either side of page. “Man is born free” written across the top

HOBBES in letters across the top. “The fence of freedom hides barbarism” in cut out letters diagonally across the page. Then it says “when given freedom and lack of authority humans tend to turn to violent means, as an act of self-preservation they will fight, all the world will turn to chaos.”

My personal whats in and what’s out ✨

there are four teams (bills, ravens, lions, vikings) who are really good, really entertaining, have very compelling narratives, and would be exceptionally satisfying to see as super bowl champs. if the chiefs threepeat it will be more annoying and loathsome than anything the patriots ever did

Is the War on Christmas still a thing? We talked to three scowling retirees at a Bill O'Reilly book signing in Pompano Beach.

She's only on screen in a few scenes, but the lady with the big glasses that kisses Robocop at the holiday party is one of the hottest women in the history of film

I can't believe there's people finding out about THE ODYSSEY because of the new Nolan film and complaining about spoilers. Sir please it was written almost 3000 years ago what spoilers are you talking about.

US: what stage of imperial decline u at?

LIZ: Dude, how can we be wearing the same outfit? [Burgundy sweater with white collar peeking out and khakis]

LIZ: You saw me leave the apartment this morning.

HORNBERGER: I saw you put it on. I thought it looked nice.

Luigi Mangione being perp walked in the exact same outfit except the sweater is a crew neck instead of a v-neck

Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying BY NOOR HINDI Colonizers write about flowers. I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks seconds before becoming daisies. I want to be like those poets who care about the moon. Palestinians don't see the moon from jail cells and prisons. It's so beautiful, the moon. They're so beautiful, the flowers. I pick flowers for my dead father when I'm sad. He watches Al Jazeera all day. I wish Jessica would stop texting me Happy Ramadan. I know I'm American because when I walk into a room something dies. Metaphors about death are for poets who think ghosts care about sound. When I die, I promise to haunt you forever. One day, I'll write about the flowers like we own them.

Okay #poetrypeople

A read door in a classroom. A sign that says “read like an Octopus” hangs at the top of the door, along with a drawing of an octopus. Below the sign are 13 student papers displaying annotations and writing

Also adapted from @marcusluther.bsky.social, I’ve never received such impressive annotations and deep thinking from 7th graders!!! Thank you!!!! Anticipating honing in and digger deeper after break

A bulletin wall featuring stapled up student papers there’s a sign that says “so much better” above the papers

We're in lockdown because of the Malibu fires. Please stay safe everyone!

I'm not allowed to leave the house, which fits in perfectly with my elderly-recluse lifestyle.

The Greeks absolutely had it right when they included a chorus in their plays. They knew audiences are dumbasses who need to be told “THIS MAN IS BAD. HE IS HERE AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT *NOT* TO DO. WOE TO THE BUMPTIOUS FOOL WHO WOULD IDOLIZE HIM. YOU ARE NOT, NOR DO YOU WANT TO BE, ALEX DELARGE”

My observation while watching wicked: they spent a lot of time trying to pretend it wasn’t Jeff Goldblum, but everything they did made it seem more like Jeff Goldblum
